BREAKING: Cryptocurrency Dispute Within the SEC – One Member Strongly Criticized the Previous Statement and Warned About These Altcoins

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Caroline A. Crenshaw sharply criticized a new staff statement on liquid staking activities published by the SEC's Division of Corporate Finance. Crenshaw argued that this clarification further exacerbates legal uncertainty rather than providing clarity for investors. Crenshaw stated that the statement contains numerous assumptions about liquid staking, and that these assumptions are not consistent with industry practices. “The Liquid Staking Statement presents a structure of assumptions stacked on top of each other, with little connection to reality,” Crenshaw said, adding that this situation creates confusion rather than provides direction for the industry.

He stated, “When liquid staking activities deviate even slightly from the assumptions in the statement, that activity falls outside the scope of this statement.” Crenshaw reminded that the statement reflects only the staff's opinion and does not represent the Commission's official stance, and urged caution from companies offering liquid staking services. “A statement filled with assumptions and limited legal scope will not provide clarity to the industry,” he said. “The message for those navigating this uncertainty is clear: A warning to liquid staking: be careful,” he said.
